I am hopeful we can bridge the gap that exists and overcome the prejudices that all of us, to one degree or another, bring to the debate … No matter how religious they may be or not be, people are tired of seeing faith used as a tool to attack.

~I love to write. ~I sing my songs, so that you can hear them. ~They mean something to me. ~Some of them make me laugh or smile. ~Some are sad or angry. ~Some just have something interesting to think about.
~I hope you enjoy listening to them. ~I'd be happy if you liked them enough to sing them, too. ~When my songs bring tears to your eyes or get stuck in your head, I know you have connected with them somehow. ~That's a good feeling.
~Please leave a comment or send me a note. ~I'd love to hear from you.
